It may be to bypass censorship, rather than self-censorship. Some platforms block or shadowban comments with curse words. Not sure about this platform.

HN definitely doesn't give a crap about that word.
I have written many words far worse than "crap" on this site. I haven't gotten in trouble over it yet.
I do find it a little amusing, because commenters stopped criticizing my cursing the moment I started getting a good chunk of karma here. I remember in 2016 someone criticized me for using the term "shitposting"...I don't think I've gotten that kind of criticism since 2016 though.
Back then the term was still associated with 4chan.
They dont like "seppo" for some reason.
can confirm, looks like crap is not on a list
pretty crappy list
